"Good" Game = "I Like this Game"?

I got into an argument with my sister over whether a game can be objectively good. I told her that no game is truly "good" or "bad" in the objective sense but what people mean when they say that is "I like this game" or "I do not like this game". She asked about when people say things like "I could recognize that the game was good, but I didn't really like it". I told her that when that is stated it just means that said person has aspects of the game they respect or like, but the game as a whole doesn't satisfy them.

But she stuck to her belief that Good Game=/=Subjective and that I Like It=Subjective only. I figured that these two statements were synonyms basically. What do you think about this, Escapist? Is a game good in the objective sense? Can you dislike a game that is "good"?
